Alternate reality versions of Carter and Kawalsky are found in Area 51. Brought to Stargate Command, they start to deteriorate. However, return to their own reality means certain death, as their world has been invaded by Goa'ulds.

MGM/SciFi.com Official Summary

SGC is taken aback when an alternate-reality version of Major Samantha Carter and the deceased Major Kawalsky are found in a secured building in top-secret Area 51. To transport themselves to our present-day Earth, they used the quantum mirror (cf. 1.20 "There But For The Grace Of God"). When the alternate Carter and Kawalsky are taken to SGC for debriefing, they can't believe how different everything is in this reality. Here Colonel Jack O'Neill is alive, whereas in their alternate reality, he was married to Dr. Carter before his recent death at the hands of the Goa'uld. Teal'c is an ally rather than an enemy, Major Kawalsky has been dead for several months, and their Samantha Carter is a major who is identical in appearance with the exception of her short hair. Dr. Carter begins to suffer from temporal distortion, a side effect caused by travel through the quantum mirror. Major Carter determines that Dr. Carter and Major Kawalsky will die unless they are returned to their alternate reality. Unfortunately, in their reality, the Goa'uld are swarming the SGC and returning means certain death. SG-1 must use their present-day resources and knowledge to return with their new acquaintances and overthrow the Goa'uld.
